Lawrence Maybe this can get you and idea! Before I run my INVOICE report I have one variable for no of copies initialized to zero and one variable for Pagetext. (that can be expanded for more variables) I first print one copy Setting the pagetext variable to 'INVOICE' and increase no of copies to 1. Then based on no of copies (IF EQ 1) I set the page text to 'COPY OF INVOICE' and increase no of copies by 1. Then based on no of copies (IF EQ 2) I set the page text to 'COPY OF INVOICE Internal Alfabetical' and increase no of copies by 1. Then based on no of copies (IF EQ 3) I set the page text to 'COPY OF INVOICE Internal Numerical' The number of copies and the pagetext I control in my EEP outside the report This way I give 2 copies of Invoice to Customer and keep 2 copies for internal filing in alphabetic and number sequence.

The problem is that I need to use the multi-part carbonless laser forms in order to capture the signature and some other information written on to the forms during the delivery. These forms come in various "flavors", usually three or four-up multi-colored forms. I suppose I could look for the forms in plain white and print the Customer Copy, etc. messages on the paper -- I don't think the customer would be too happy with this solution since they are used to the multi-color forms, and I think their customers are too. I tried the COLLATION OFF technique, and I do get the pages in the order I need (that is, three copies of page 1, three copies of page 2, etc) but I cannot change any of the text on second and third copy of each page (the report generator creates the page and sends the identical image to the printer three times). The closest I can come with this solution is to print the same message on each page: ("Pink Copy for Customer, Yellow Copy for Store, White Copy for Office"). This is the closest I'm able to get so far to my solution. -- Larry
